There are many factors to prolonging youth. Drinking enough water, getting some sun but not too much sun, your attitude, stress levels, diet… it’s all quite overwhelming some days. The foundation of it all? Good skincare. But what exactly is the best skincare routine?
I’ve tried and tested various brands and have combined that with expert advice from dermatologists that I’ve gone to in order to narrow down the best routine.
Only 5 products in total for morning and evening, in the following order:
✨ Morning Routine ✨
1. Face Wash – Start the day with ALASTIN Skincare Gentle Cleanser Foaming Gel Face Wash, the best face wash around! For all skin types, it’s designed to remove impurities and leave a clean finish.
2. HA Serum – Rather than using a moisturizer, I love ALASTIN Skincare’s Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Face Serum. It delivers instant hydration for smoother, more radiant-looking skin.
3. Under Eye Cream – Even if you don’t have under eye concerns, it’s good to take preventative measures. I use ALASTIN Skincare Restorative Eye Treatment. This reduces dark circles, puffiness, and undereye bags while improving the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes.
4. Sunscreen – What’s better than a good sunscreen? One that also has anti-aging properties! So naturally, I use ALASTIN Skincare’s SilkSHIELD All Mineral Sunscreen. It has a peptide blend that provides anti-aging benefits all day long.
✨ Night Routine ✨
1. Face Wash – Same as the morning routine (ALASTIN Skincare Gentle Cleanser Foaming Gel Face Wash). No need for makeup remover at all. This is the best face wash I’ve tried that gets rid of makeup super well.
Bonus – Although the cleanser above removes makeup, I use the FOREO Luna 3 Facial Cleansing Brush at the end of the day to really clean out the pores. It smooths the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, plus you can connect it to your phone to update settings specifically for you.
2. HA Serum – Once again, to moisturize my face at night, I use ALASTIN Skincare’s Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Face Serum.
3. Under Eye Cream – Another repeat from the morning routine, I use ALASTIN Skincare’s Restorative Eye Treatment after moisturizing.
4. Retinol Serum – Before bed, I use retinol because it supports smoother skin texture, improves skin tone, and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. For this, I love ALASTIN Skincare’s Skin Renewal Retinol Face Serum. Some retinols can dry out your skin but this one doesn’t one bit.
And that’s it! Listed out, it may appear like a lot, but it’s only 4 products in the morning and 4 at night, and only 5 products in total. Once you get the hang of it, you won’t even think about it!
